It has been a couple of months since the release of the GeForce GTX 970 and the GM204 GPU that it is based on. After the initial wave of stock on day one NVIDIA had an admittedly poor ability to keep the popular cards in stock. Couple that with rampant concerns over coil whine from some non-reference designs and we were a bit hesitant to focus and spend our time on retail GTX 970 reviews.

These issues appear to be settled for the most part. Finding GeForce GTX 970 cards is no longer a problem and users with coil whine are getting RMAs and replacements from NVIDIA's partners. Because of that we feel much more comfortable reporting our results with the various retail cards we have in house and you'll see quite a few reviews coming from PC Perspective in the coming weeks.

But let's start with the MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Gaming card - based on user reviews one of the most popular retail cards. MSI's Gaming series of cards combines a custom cooler that typically runs quieter and more efficient than reference design with a price tag that is within arms reach of the lower cost options as well.
